Mother Monster was on her way from the United Kingdom after doing some press, as she revealed in her popular Twitter account. She also tweeted a picture of herself in color surrounded by paparazzi in black and white.

And her number of followers isn't the first digital record Lady Gaga has broken. She reached one billion views on YouTube earlier this year, according to The Washington Post.
